We have not had an opportunity of examining the specimen upon 
which the name is based. This specimen being unique, the authorities 
of the Berlin Museum were not allowed to lend it to us. The director 
of that institution, however, has kindly supplied us with information 
of the more important details respecting the structure of this insect, 
which are not mentioned in the original description nor shown in the 
figures accompanying the same. 
According to this additional information the episternum of the 
metathorax is separated from the sternum, and the hindfemur bears 
a minute ventral tooth. This insect, therefore, belongs to the present 
group of species. In the original description the segments of the 
maxillary palpus are said to be almost the same in length, while we are 
now informed that the proportional lengths are 10, 13, 9, 14. The 
epimerum of the metathorax bears 4 bristles, according to our 
informant. The tergites of the thorax and abdomen bear each a row of 
1 These large shrews like rats inhabit ships and consequently transported from place 
to place.
